Orientation Packing List

I've been back from college orientation for exactly a week now, so I feel like I can tell you what all you need to bring. Obviously, every college is different and most will send you a list, but this is what I packed for my two-day orientation

Clothing:

• Nike shorts
• Jean shorts
• 2 t-shirts
• Rain jacket
• Pajamas
• Socks
• Underwear
• Tennis shoes
• Chaco's (these are my babies. I highly recommend them to anyone with knee problems and will be doing a lot of walking)

Toiletries:

• Body wash
• Toothbrush
• Toothpaste
• Mouthwash
• Hairbrush
• Deodorant
• Makeup
• Makeup remover
• Face wash
• Moisturizer
• Spot cream
• Contacts
• Contact solution

Other:

• Blanket (dorms are cold, even in the middle of May. Worst case scenario, you can lay on top of the linens they give you and use your blanket to sleep on. Not saying that's what I did, but that's what I did)
• Notebook
• Pens
• Charger
• Wallet
• Any forms your college asks you to bring

A Week in the Life (April 9)

I'm so sorry for the delay, but here's my first of many blog posts before the end of the year!

Monday:

I went to school and attended a scholarship meeting for my upcoming freshman year.

While at school, I spent most of my time writing for the school newspaper as well as researching topics for my English paper.

Tuesday:

I went to school (again) and this time finished my articles for the paper and began to design an outline for my paper. I also wrote and edited more blog posts, so there should be approximately 5 more coming out in the next two weeks or so! I've got a lot of school work going on this month, so I have to write as much as I can when I get the time!

Wednesday:

While at school, I made my prom and graduation nail appointments, as well as decided on my graduation hair and makeup. I also went to work after school. Not exactly eventful.

Thursday:

I didn't really do anything besides school, so there's nothing interesting here, sadly.

Friday:

Friday was prom, so I didn't go to school at all. I had brunch in the morning, then went to get my nails done. I then had lunch before rushing to my hair and makeup which ended up taking an extra hour. I ended up booking it to my pictures, but it worked out, so the stress was only temporary (but there was still a lot of it…) I'm still waiting to get my prom photos back, but I know they're going to be great! 

After prom, I headed to my friend's house to watch The Greatest Showman and sleep over. Granted, it was like 2 am by the time I went to sleep, but it's technically Friday night, right?

Saturday:

I woke up around 10 and got ready to go into work by 1:30. Yep, I had to work the day after prom. It kind of sucked, but at least I didn't have any medical emergencies or saves.

May Goals

My goals for this month are pretty simple because I'm not planning on doing too many things.

Here's my brief list:

• Finish my senior year with a 4.0
• Get at least a 4 on the AP lit exam
• Pass by CLEP tests and get A's on the UAH essays
• Enjoy graduation and orientation!
• Spend more time with my dogs and friends
• Gain 5 new Arbonne clients
• Make at least $100 from Arbonne in order to offset the price of becoming a consultant
